The fight to finish between Gen. Muhammadu Buhari and President Goodluck Jonathan is assuming a frightening scale as agents of both parties seems set for the mother of all battles. In a tersely worded statement, which is a response to an earlier one from the Presidency, the CPC described Jonathan as dangerous and deadly to Nigeria. They say he has turned the Presidency to a mini Bayelsa State, surrounding himself and taking advise only from people of his Ijaw ethnic group. They described President Jonathan as corrupt and inept in the manner he has so far run the country.

Below is the CPC's response to Jonathan:

"We stand unwaveringly by the statement credited to GMB [General Muhammadu Buhari]," the party said. Speaking through a press release by its National Publicity Secretary, Rotimi Fashakin, the CPC also launched a barrage of counter-accusations against the PDP, describing the President Jonathan's administration as 'the most corrupt' in Nigeria's history. "On Corruption, the Jonathan administration transcends all others before it! Nigerians are still befuddled by the impeachable show of arbitrariness by the regime in expending N2.67Trillion on fuel subsidy instead of the appropriated N240Billion in the 2011 appropriation act," Mr. Fashakin said.

The CPC also responded in details to some of the accusations made by the PDP on Monday, where the ruling party described Mr. Buhari of being 'blood-thirsty'. The party Mr. Jonathan is a far more ethnically biased. According to the statement, as Head of State, Mr. Buhari's Minister for Petroleum was Tam David West, "a Kalabari man from Rivers state". They say Jonathan had failed to act in a similar fashion. "All the appointees as Oil ministers in his two-year reign thus far as President of Nigeria have been Nigerians of Ijaw extraction, like himself."

The CPC also accused Mr. Jonathan of trying in vain to come to the defence of the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND), a militant group from his area that claimed responsibility for the Octber 1, 2010, bombings in Abuja. "On October 1, 2010, there was a bomb blast during the year's independence anniversary celebrations, with attendant deaths of many Nigerians. Without waiting for any preliminary report from the Security Agencies, Dr Goodluck Jonathan, as President, told a traumatized Nation, 'it is not MEND!'," the CPC said.

CPC also came down hard on the president's spokesperson, Reuben Abati, who it said did not seem to understand the real meaning of Boko Haram as postulated by Mr. Buhari. "In a jejune, puerile, and very pedestrian communication, the presidential spokesman defined Boko-Haram as 'Western education is sin' and went on to posit the administration's investment in Education.

How awkwardly inane could that be? "As GMB aptly stated, Boko Haram has three variants, with varying degrees of severity and murderous content: the original Boko-haram that seeks to avenge the extra-judicial killing of its Leader by the Nigeria Police; the Boko Haram that pursues criminality for monetary gains and of course, the Political Boko-haram that is bent on setting the stage for ethno-religious pogrom in the Nigerian nation.

It is the Political Boko Haram, with its extremely lethal content, that the Jonathan-led Federal Government represents," the CPC said. In order to prove Mr. Buhari's claim that the Jonathan-administration is the real Boko Haram, the CPC outlined a number of instances to buttress the claim thus: "In January 2012, Dr Goodluck Jonathan told a bewildered nation, still smarting from murderous Bombings, that his government has been infiltrated by Boko Haram.

"In February 2012, a serving PDP senator from Borno South (Mohammed Ali Ndume) was arrested for being a member of Boko Haram. "In March 2012, Ndume deposed to an affidavit before a Federal High Court wherein he stated that Vice-President Namadi Sambo was aware of his activities with Boko Haram. "In April 2012, General Andrew Owoeye Azazi, the National Security Adviser, averred that there was indisputable proof that Boko Haram is PDP.

As things stand, President Good-luck Jonathan is the national leader of PDP. "In April 2012, Henry Okah (while standing trial on Terrorism charges) deposed to an affidavit before a South African court that President Goodluck Jonathan was the sponsor of the October 1, 2010 bombing at Eagle square. It is on record that as governor of a Niger-Delta state, Dr Goodluck Jonathan (together with his brother governors) had used the MEND to command the attention of the Nigerian state"

^^ First, Jonadumb and YOU must go! Funny this is actually true - he is under-incompetent really! Nothing Jonaton can do anyway. Last time some mis-adventurers made the "leaders" of a section to leave this planet like you suggest, the return match was more than epic with millions leaving the planet. Up till today, dozens of years afterwards, people can hardly make one comment without recalling the losses!

This is what I call "one blow, seven die".. naija oppositions get mouth sha.. They know how to hit PDP hard! I know Abati's response will sound thus: "respect the office of the president" lol.. Forgeting that respect is reciprocal. CPC! On point! 2 - 0

By Rotimi FashakinThe Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, has noted the response of Dr Goodluck Jonathan, as President of Nigeria, to the altruistic statement credited to our National Leader, General Muhammadu Buhari (GMB) wherein he had stated inter-alia dire consequences for the perpetual riggers of our electoral process in 2015. In the statement signed by Dr. Reuben Abati, Special Adviser to the President on Media, GMB was grotesquely characterized as a sectional leader.

First, GMB has been out of office as Head of Government for about 28 years, yet his relevance to the Nigerian nation is something firmly acknowledged by a broad spectrum of Nigerians, including his adversaries. As Head of State, his Oil Minister was Professor Tam David-West, a Kalabari man in Rivers state. As a Leader, he created the ambience for his ministers to work unobtrusively and devoid of executive meddlesomeness. But what do we find with Dr Goodluck Jonathan? All the appointees as Oil ministers in his two-year reign thus far as President of Nigeria have been Nigerians of Ijaw extraction, like himself!

Second, in October 1, 2010, there was a bomb blast during the year’s independence anniversary celebrations, with attendant deaths of many Nigerians. Without waiting for any preliminary report from the Security Agencies, Dr Goodluck Jonathan, as President, told a traumatized Nation, “it is not MEND!” Meanwhile, MEND is the name for the militant group from Dr Good-luck Jonathan’s ethnic extraction that had in the immediate past waged relentless and potent insurgency against the Nigerian state but had been placated with more slice of the Nation’s resources ceded to the region. Indeed, MEND impugned the President’s statement and admitted responsibility.

Third, so far as President of Nigeria, Dr Good-luck Jonathan has shown very generous affinity for Nigerians of Ijaw stock in terms of appointments and promotions in the Federal Public sector. There is a marked lopsidedness that smacks of clannishness and ethnocentrism by the President!

On Corruption and sleazy tendency, the Jonathan administration transcends all others before it! Nigerians are still befuddled by the impeachable show of arbitrariness by the regime in expending N2.67Trillion on fuel subsidy instead of the appropriated N240Billion in the 2011 appropriation act. As expected, the regime has attempted all manner of subterfuge to give Executive cover for the indicted people in the scam, who were the bank-rollers of the President’s electioneering campaign. Could it be that the missing money was funneled deliberately to the Jonathan Presidential Campaigns, with the acquiescence of the President?

GMB was quoted as saying that the Jonathan-led Federal Government is the greatest Boko-Haram. Understandably, this elicited awful response from the President. In a jejune, puerile, and very pedestrian communication, the presidential spokesman defined Boko-Haram as “Western education is sin” and went on to posit the administration’s investment in Education. How awkwardly inane could that be?!

It is common knowledge that Boko-Haram has become the euphemism for subtlety in devious schemes that cause mass killings of the innocents! As GMB aptly stated, Boko Haram has three variants, with varying degrees of severity and murderous content: the original Boko-haram that seeks to avenge the extra-judicial killing of its Leader by the Nigeria Police; the Boko Haram that pursues criminality for monetary gains and of course, the Political Boko-haram that is bent on setting the stage for ethno-religious pogrom in the Nigerian nation. It is the Political Boko Haram, with its extremely lethal content, that the Jonathan-led Federal Government represents!

·

In January 2012, Dr Good-luck Jonathan told a bewildered nation, still smarting from murderous Bombings, that his government has been infiltrated by Boko Haram.

·

In February 2012, a serving PDP senator from Borno South (Mohammed Ali Ndume) was arrested for being a member of Boko Haram.

·

In March 2012, Ndume deposed to an affidavit before a Federal High Court wherein he stated that Vice-President Namadi Sambo was aware of his activities with Boko Haram.

·

In April 2012, General Andrew Owoeye Azazi , the National Security Adviser, averred that there was indisputable proof that Boko Haram is PDP. As things stand, President Good-luck Jonathan is the national leader of PDP.

· In April 2012, Henry Okah (while standing trial on Terrorism charges) deposed to an affidavit before a South African court that President Good-luck Jonathan was the sponsor of the October 1, 2010 bombing at Eagle square. It is on record that as governor of a Niger-delta state, Dr Good-luck Jonathan (together with his brother governors) had used the MEND to command the attention of the Nigerian state.

· As a Party, we are aware of the role played by Jonathan’s PDP in the way the People’s post-electoral angst (at the subversion of their electoral will) was turned into murderous ethno-religious mayhem.

· We are also aware about how the Jonathan administration has consistently used the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) under the leadership of his fellow Niger-delta Nigerian, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, to demonize GMB in the despicable attempt to veil the murderous intent of the administration.

Meanwhile, with the hullaballoo that Dr Jonathan and his PDP elements have unwittingly caused within the Polity, should it be interpreted that there is a real effort towards ensuring that the 2015 election is also rigged as before in giving vim to the PDP Leaders’ claim of ruling Nigeria for 60 years? As a Nation, we are witnesses to the manner in which rigged elections have foisted on the Nation cluelessness in governance and rapacious impudence; it is indeed a dreary road to tread.

We insist that it is never ignoble to lose elections because President Abraham Lincoln, before being reputed to be the best American President that ever existed, was known to have lost elections several times. GMB, though lost Presidential elections three times to the rigging collusion of the Nigerian presidency and the electoral umpire, took the loss each time (like Abraham Lincoln) with equanimity!

In the meantime, we shall continue to trumpet the sterling qualities of the Buhari brand which is still a rarity among the Political players in our nation’s season of anomie. We stand unwaveringly by the statement credited to GMB!

The presidency is creating diversionary tactics, it needs to answer allegations of the clear finger points of BOKO HARAM members within its party and goverment, Ali Ndume, Henry Okah's allegations, The vice president being mentioned according to Ali Ndume, ex Borno state governors being mentioned by arrested Boko men.

Fashakin, just listen to urself. How can u allow an aboki to use u like toilet roll. An aboki hv no regards 4 ur ppl. After all said and done, dis same insane man will remind u of ur background and just keep u as d man to do his dirty job.

That is to say: Nigeria s under the able leadership of BH? Interesting and very very comforting.

Northern Nigeria are now looking for who to blame,after destroying their region now they are looking for who to blame.

‘Boko Haram ploy to destroy north’

Northern youths, under the aegis of Arewa Defence League, says the Federal Government does not only have interests in what is happening in the north as regards Boko Haram insurgency but also happy the whole region down economically, socially and politically.

The group also alleged that the federal government was using the insurgency to cripple the region politically ahead of 2015 general elections.

The group, led by its president Murtala Abubakar told newsmen in Kaduna yesterday, lamented over federal government’s failure to address the security problems confronting the north, saying the violence has different dimensions but the government has narrowed its mind to a direction without considering other dimensions.

THIS CPC IS A CRAZY POLITICAL PARTY, WHAT DO THEY SEE IN THIS BUHARI THAT THEY THINK CAN WIN PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, IN WHICH COUNTRY ? BUHARI THAT DOES NOT EVEN CAMPAIN NATIONALLY. WTF IS WRONG WITH THE OLD MAN CALLED BUHARI, IBB IS SILENT YET BUHARI AND MAN CRYING IN PUBLIC IS INSULTING OUR INTELLECT, AND FOR THE FOOLISH CPC, WHO ELSE SHOULD BE APPOINTED TO HEAD THE OIL AND GAS SECTIONS IF NOT THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE AND DIE TO FEED THE WHOLE NATION
